Application filed March 18, 1881.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HIRAM W. BALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Alliance,

' in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Earth-Scrapers, of which the following is a specification. 1

My invention, relates to the formation of an earth-scraper out of two parts, so formed as to (No model.)

pression or recess for receiving the straight edge of the part 0. Another office is to form a runner under the said scraper in a manner less expensive than by making a separate piece and riveting it on the scraper. Another of the offices of said depression is, that in the formation of angles it gives strength to the scraper. c is the other halt'of said scraper, formed without any depression.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A scraper having two parts, a and 0, formed of sheet metal, one of which has a depressed edge and the other a straight edge, the parts being hroughttogether to form a seam through the middle of the improved scraper.
